On Monday May 9, American Bakers PAC hosted a fundraising luncheon in honor of United States Senator Rob Portman (R-OH), who is running for reelection in November. Russ and Liz Bundy, Bundy Baking Solutions, were gracious venue hosts.

The event had over 50 food industry executives in attendance and raised an astounding $37,000 for Portman’s campaign.

The race for the U.S. Senate seat in Ohio is already one of the top races in the country this election cycle and currently rated as toss-up. Sen. Rob Portman is high on Democrats’ target list. He won this open seat in 2010 with 57 percent, but Democrats believe he is much more vulnerable in a presidential year when turnout favors their party.
